There is do doubt in our minds that Catherine, Princess of Wales has one of the most iconic makeup looks in modern time. Whether you’re looking at inspo pics from her wedding day, or at a more natural, barely-there makeup look, she is always effortlessly glowing and radiant.
But have you ever thought about what the future Queen keeps in her makeup to achieve such flawless skin? Or what hair products she uses to maintain her glossy brunette hair?
From her day-to-day favourites to the fragrance she reportedly used for her wedding day, we reveal what’s rumoured to be inside the makeup bag of Kate Middleton.
The skincare and makeup used by Kate Middleton:
In 2019, Kate Middleton was spotted at the Wimbledon tennis tournament applying this glossy Clarins lip balm.
The revelation was no less glorious when we discovered the product is not only readily available, but it’s also not too expensive.
Royal worthy lips will set you back just $45, it seems – oh and Kate uses the rose shimmer variation, FYI.
Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil
$29.69 (usually $49.95) at Chemist Warehouse
Two words: complexion perfection.
According to Princess Catherine’s dermatologist, the royal loves slather Trilogy Rosehip Oil on her skin – and it has been her go-to skincare product for the past 15 years.
Pressed from the fruit of the rose plant, the genius oil is full of essential fatty acids (for hydrating and skin plumping) and vitamin A (for anti-ageing), vitamin C (for brightening) and vitamin E (for moisturising and smoothing). With that combination, it’s no wonder the Princess’ skin is so radiant.
Kate is constantly tressed to impress and, as reported by PopSugar, it’s down to this Kerastase Bain Satin 2 along with the matching conditioner and hair masks.
Essie Nail Colour Allure
$15.99 at Priceline
Catherine is a true natural beauty – and she has a manicure regimen to match.
While she is predisposed to a “60-minute royal manicure”, her manicurist, Marina Sandoval, used Essie‘s Nail Lacquer in Allure back in 2011.
Karin Herzog Skincare
from $89 at Karin Herzog
Kate is said to swear by Karin Herzog‘s Oxygen Face Cream, Mild Scrub and Professional Cleanser, having used this Swiss beauty range for years.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser
$140.78 at Amazon
It’s said that Her Royal Highness calls on Laura Mercier‘s Tinted Moisturiser for a natural, unblemished finish.
While sources have said she gets a weekly St. Tropez spray tan, during her pregnancy with Princess Charlotte, Kate opted for Bobbi Brown‘s Bronze Shimmer Brick to give her cheeks that all-year-round summer glow.
Having been rumoured to have done her own make-up on her wedding day using Bobbi Brown products, it’s no surprise this Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner is Kate’s go-to.
According to sources, Kate Middleton credits makeup brand Urban Decay for her shimmery neutral lids. The brand offers neural eyeshadow palettes that are suitable for everyone!
Catherine’s beauty routine includes cleansing with a soft cotton face washer which, according to her makeup artist Arabella Preston, is the secret to gently exfoliating skin while properly removing makeup and dirt.
Use with an oil cleanser for a deeper clean, without stripping your skin.
Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara
$56.80 (usually $71) at Lancôme
According to Town & Country, Kate’s favourite for fluttery lashes is Lancôme’s Hypnôse mascara in Noir. Its precise brush and buildable formula deliver volumised, separated lashes with ease. Plus, it’s enriched with vitamins and natural oils to help keep lashes healthy and hydrated.
Jo Malone Orange Blossom Cologne
From $120 at Myer
Channel royal elegance with Jo Malone London’s Orange Blossom Cologne, which is widely said to be one of Kate’s favourites. She reportedly loved it so much that she had Orange Blossom candles burning in Westminster Abbey on her wedding day. With notes of clementine flower, orange blossom, and water lily, balanced by orris and vetiver, it’s a scent fit for a princess — and Jo Malone is also said to be loved by Meghan Markle, whose pick is the Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne.
